New here, advice for Arwen's Hadafang sword?

[Gem_86]

I fell in love with Arwen's sword from Lord of the Rings, and I would love to buy it, but I can't find it on any UK site, does this mean it's a banned sword? It does look rather long and curved, but I know a couple of people who actually own this gorgeous genuine replica, I'm not sure how they got it, I know my friend got it for her birthday some years ago. I found someone selling it on ebay in the US and they say that they've never had any issues with it being delivered to the UK but I don't want to risk getting in trouble.

I have seen another replica around that I could buy but it does not look the same at all, the detail on the handle for one thing doesn't look anywhere near as good as the genuine replica.

So I wait with bated breath, is it bad news? Will I never own this gorgeous sword to look and admire at on my wall?

Hello Gem

I also would like a hadhafang sword to go with the LOTR swords I already have. I fear it would come under the banned blade hammer as its not traditionally hand forged / made. The other example you mention I have seen and I'm sure I know what site you are referring to. It is a copy not an official replica. If you want one, Geordie Ross has one and if you are really nice, he might be persuaded to part with it.

Yup now banned in the UK sorry. Sold mine a while back too

I still got a hadafang, they're now illegal to sell without a licence, so you'll struggle to find any
